# SAY – How to make your voicebot speak?

If you want your voicebot to just say something and the block does not require any special logic, use the **Say** block. It is one of the simplest and most basic blocks. It has only one input and one output port.

### :point\_right: **BASIC FUNCTIONALITIES**

**Text to say –** You can make your bot speak in two ways, choosing the preferred option:

* **Speech synthesizer**
* **Own recording**

If you choose the **Speech synthesizer** option, all you have to do is write a text that will be read by the Text-2-Speech (TTS) system.

**REMEMBER!** *The language in which you write the text should be the same as the one you set in the **Voicebot language** option in a Start Call Block.*
{% endhint %}

If you choose the **Own recording** option, then you can upload the audio file with the recorded phrase. (Then, your customer will listen while talking to the voicebot.)

{% hint style="warning" %}
**REMEMBER!** *You cannot use the Global Variables and Arguments while using **Own recording** option*.
